Instructions
- 1
Begin by cooking the potatoes. Place the quartered potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain well and set aside.

While potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Reduce heat to medium. Add the chopped tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring and gently mashing the tomatoes with the back of a spoon, until they break down and form a rustic sauce.

Stir in the honey, dried oregano, garlic powder, remaining salt, and pepper into the tomato sauce. Add 50 ml of water to loosen the sauce. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Return the seared chicken to the skillet, ensuring it's coated in the sauce. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

While the chicken simmers, mash the cooked potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, spoon a generous portion of creamy mashed potatoes onto each plate. Top with the tangy tomato and honey glazed chicken, ensuring plenty of sauce. Finish with an optional drizzle of olive oil for added richness and shine.
